About This Item
London: J. M. Dent & Sons 1949, 4th printing. (Hardcover) 268pp. Very good in very good dust jacket. Green cloth with gilt lettering and decoration to the spine and front cover. Color illustrated frontispiece, illustrations, decorations, photographs, notes, index. The dust jacket is price-clipped, chipped and edgedworn, the spine is gently worn and there is a previous owner's name on the front endpaper. "Soon or late, by time's gentle admonition, or by the harsh reminder of war, the day comes when every mortal man is constrained to set his house in order. Forty years as a country attorney have I been winding up clients' affairs. Thirty years as a historian have I been writing the lives of others. Now, at three score, I have the uneasy feeling that I should tidy up the over-crowded curiosity shop of my own brain, and render an account of my own stewardship" - from the Introduction. Biography of Reginald L. Hine. (Law, Anecdotes, Biography, Law, Lawyers, Memoir).
